14) Non-malignant granulocyte & monocyte disorders Flashcards
monolobed (homozygous) or bilobed (heterozygous) neutrophils
Pelger-Huet
significant of Pelger Huet
differentiating from a left shift
How can monolobed Pelger Huet be distinguished from myelos?
- clumped chromatin
- mature looking cytoplasm
- most/all neutrophils have anomaly
2 causes of pseudo-Pelger Huet
- myeloid malignancies
- myeloproliferative/dysplastic states
traits of pseudo-Pelger Huet cells
- mostly monolobed
- often hypogranular
- <50% are hyposegmented
- immature myeloids present too
inherited lysosomal storage disorder
incompletely degraded mucopolysaccharides in lysosomes
Alder-Reilly anomaly
large purple granules present in all WBCs
Alder-Reilly anomaly
Alder Reilly granules stain with ———, but toxic gran will not
toluidine blue
Alder-Reilly cells often found only in…
BM
Gasser’s cells
- clusters of purple granules surrounded by clear zone
- in lymphs
- Alder-Reilly
large, grayish-blue granules
result from fusion of primary & secondary granules
Chediak-Higashi syndrome
granules are prevented from getting into lysosomes
Chediak-Higashi syndrome
Chediak-Higashi cells are often ——– and ———-; less often they are ———–
grans and monos
lymphs
defective chemotaxis, phagocytosis
↓ WBC and plt
Chediak-Higashi syndrome
often fatal in childhood due to recurrent bacterial infections
Chediak-Higashi syndrome
platelets lack large granules, function abnormally
Chediak-Higashi syndrome
physical signs of Chediak Higashi syndrome
- skin hypopigmentation
- silvery hair
- photophobia
- lymphadenopathy
grans contain inclusions that resemble Dohle bodies
made of RNA from the RER
May-Hegglin anomaly
giant platelets
mild thrombocytopenia
May-Hegglin anomaly
only symptom May-Hegglin patients may have
bleeding tendency
